DVD downloads outnumber CD downloads roughly 2:1 on x86, 5:1 on x86_64,

Is that for fc5?
I'd think the same statistic over the lifetime of a release would be
more interesting. I'd argue the people who participate during the
release surge are a skewed sample of the overall population.
Not only that, people who download at any time are a skewed sample of
the overall population. A lot of people obtain their install media from
other sources: the CD-Writer of a friend, a magazine, etc.
Also, the 2:1 ratio can be interpreted the other way: at least 33% users
prefer CDs for installation, going DVD only would leave them in the cold.
